Character Creation (System)

In order to play a character in this setting, one has to create a character first. All stats and abilities are written down onto a character sheet.

General Data

The first section of the character sheet is about General and Background Information. Name, sex and age can be choosen freely. Each character belongs to a civilization. The following table shows all available civilizations for character creation with their traits:

Civilization Height Weight
Humans 150-190 cm 50-100 kg
Half-Humans 100-240 cm 30-150 kg
Dwarves 100-150 cm 50-50 kg
Elven 150-190 cm 30-65 kg
Orcs 190-240 cm 100-150 kg
Iceborn 150-190 cm 50-100 kg

Characters can be religious. Their god or pantheon can also be choosen freely. The class determines the combat fighting style. A class can be traditional like 'Axe Warrior' or unique like 'Chopstickthrower'.

Talents, Skills & Professions

Skills represent learned actions mainly used out of combat. A skill belongs to one of these classes: physical doing (i.e. running, climbing knowledge (i.e. mycology, alchemy) or social (i.e. lying). Skills can be choosen freely.

Each new character gains 50 skill points (1 point represents 5% of success). Those points can be assigned to skills: the more points a skill has, the higher the chance to succeed. However, a skill cannot have more than 16 points). If a character uses a skill, he does a Skill Roll and throws a 1d20. If the value is below or even the skill value, the skill succeed.

Attributes & Battle Stats

Attributes are stats to represent the general power of a certain trait. There are six attributes: Strength, Precision, Intelligence, Constitution, Agility and Charisma. Furthermore, those stats have direct impact on Battle Stats used in combat. The Battle Stats are: Melee Attack (uses Strength), Ranged Attack (uses Precision), Magic (uses Intelligence), Tank (uses Constitution) and Dodge (uses Agility). Click here to see how these stats are used in combat.

Each new character can choose one of two pattern for their attributes. 1 value of a pattern must be assigned to one attribute:
  • Pattern 1: 1,1,2,2,3,3
  • Pattern 2: 1,1,2,2,2,4

As for the Battlestats, if the respective Attribute has a value of 1 or 2, the Battlestat value is 6. If the respective Attribute has a value of 3, the Battlestat value is 7, else 8. Battlestats increases in value whenever a character levels up.

In addition, a character has Health Points (HP). The starting HP for a character is 12 if constitution has a value of 1 or 2, 13 if the value is 3 and 14 if the value is 4. Like Battlestats, HP will increase over time.

Abilities

Last but not least, each character has certain abilities which can be used in combat. Those abilities are usually within the range of their class. Abilities are more powerful attacks than normal weapon attacks, but they have higher cost in order to cast. There are several ability types:
  • Passive Ability
  • Toggleable Ability
  • Weapon Ability
  • Magic Ability
  • Ultimative Ability

Each new character can have up to 6 different abilities, but no more than 1 passive ability and 1 ultimate ability at a time.

If all steps are followed correctly and you read this line now, your character creation's finished!
